Peaceful is exactly what it was...

Around 5:00 pm this evening a group of people joined a peaceful protest around the Butler square! No yelling, no cursing and hardly even a word. Everyone who attended was respectful and law enforcement was on top of things as usual walking among the crowd.

A simple 9 minute march and a kneel down with no looting, no fires and no arrests and no damage to anyone's property! In all I would say a lot was accomplished on the square tonight in a very peaceful manner.

Thank you to every one who showed up and acted how adults should act.

The Right place, Right time...

Things are starting to take shape as the new building for Right Choice Truck & Tire is progressing quickly. It’ll be easy to get to, located on west 52 highway next to El Charro and the new, bigger facility will certainly offer space for more inventory and easy service as usual. 

Barring delays, work should be completed around August.
